Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon californicum aka bearsweed, holy herb, or
mountain balm) is a plant indigenous to the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, and
has been used as an herbal remedy by many Native American tribes for centuries.
Yerba Santa coats the mucous membranes and holds the aqueous
component in contact with the cells. It provides a unique method to reintroduce the
mucoprotective effects of sustained moisturization. Parnell Pharmaceuticals is the
only pharmaceutical company that utilizes our patented derivative of Yerba Santa.
The Yerba Santa has been processed using patented and proprietary methods into usable
mucopolysaccharides and glycoproteins, and is utilized in all Parnell products. This
formulation is unique in that it:
 | restores topical moisture to the mucosa
|
 | delivers natural lubrication safely
|
 | helps reduce mucosal dryness complications |
